Today, Christmas is being celebrated across the country. On this occasion, we are going to tell you about a church in Goa where a body of a saint is kept in a church for 450 years. Inside the church 'Basilica of Bom Jesus' in Panaji, Goa, the body of St. Francis Xavier has been kept safe for 450 years. It is said that Francis Xavier's dead body has divine powers, due to which it has not been worse till date. Thousands of tourists come here from home and abroad to visit this church every year on Christmas Eve.
St. Francis Xavier, was a soldier before the saint. They were students of Ignatius Loyola. Let me tell that Ignatius started a religious organization named 'Society of Jesus'.
- King John III of Portugal and the Pope of that time, after being a Jesuit missionary, sent Francis Xavier to India for the promotion of religion.
- He initiated many people in China, Japan, including India, into Christianity. His death took place during a sea cruise in China.
